This year will see a chocolately Christmas indeed for those home users and food professionals open to innovation with 3D chocolate printing. This Christmas, one of the pioneers of culinary printing, Choc Edge, is offering the newest version of its Choc Creator 3D chocolate printer for a discounted price of £3,200, against their usual retail price of £3,888.

That is what forms the basis of one the biggest challenges in the world of 3D printing technology. Is it possible to develop a desktop (well, kitchen top) 3D printer that is capable of printing diverse, edible, affordable and even tasty meals? It would not only reach a new level of convenience, but it would also be a wonderful solution to paradox that is the combination of world food shortages and the wasteful consumer market prevailing throughout the west. (And, of course, it would also allow 3D printing to reach the minds and wallets of the complete consumer market, rather than just a segment of it.)

Italy is an interesting place to have a discussion about the future of food. In a country steeped in gastronomic tradition, a food printer might seem gauche, if not downright offensive. But at Maker Faire Rome, attendees will be confronted with 3D printed food — and may even get a taste.

The 3D printing of food is something which may take a while to catch on. Although there are several companies, including 3D Systems, working on this type of technology, it’s only been within the candy/desert space where such techniques have actually taken off. With this said, changes within the industry are happening at such a rapid rate that we may see widespread 3D food printing take hold sooner rather than later.

Cambridge, Ontario based Canadian company ORD Solutions launched their RoVa3D, the first 5 material/color liquid cooled 3D printer in June this year and successfully raised more than CAD$132,000 on Kickstarter. With the Kickstarter money the company is able to continue their R&D work to push technology further faster.

There have been a few different food printers that have come to the stage, like the Foodini, Candy, and the ChefJet from 3D Systems. As amazing as these machines may be, they don’t quite fulfill the dream of a Star Trek replicator capable of delivering fully-cooked meals on demand.

Though I’m not intimately involved with modernist chefs, I have the feeling that 3D printed food fits perfectly into this culinary art movement. As chefs in the movement explore the science of food and radical methods for preparing it, 3D printing has the potential to break meals down into their constituent components and lay them down with mathematical precision.
